    YPG Fire Inspector Brad Henderson (left) has battled his share of conflagrations in his time, but none as formidable as COVID-19. The 17-year veteran of YPG’s Fire Department endured a nearly four-month hospitalization, which included 55 days where he depended on an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) life support machine.

    He’s back home now, but still not fully recovered. He has to use an oxygen tank and make regular visits to Phoenix to see medical specialists. It is still unknown when he will be able to work again, but his fellow YPG Firefighters and other members of the YPG Family have been in his corner throughout his ordeal: they brought over hot meals, helped wife Shannon fix her car, and even set up a GoFundMe page.
